The work of preparing International Standards is normally carri
19、ed out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. I
20、SO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical commit
21、tees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. IS
22、O shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 2234 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging, Subcommittee SC 3, Performance requirements and tests for means of packaging, packages and unit loads (as required by ISO/TC 122).

24、ty practice in accordance with relevant legislation. ENISO2234:2002ivINTENRATIONAL TSANDADR ISO 4322:(0002)E ISO 0002 All irhgts seredevr 1 Packaging Complete, filled transport packages and unit loads Stacking tests using a static load 1 Scope This International Standard specifies three methods for
25、carrying out a stacking test on a complete, filled transport package, or on a unit load, using a static load. Whichever method is employed, the test may be used to assess the performance of a package or a unit load, in terms of its strength or the protection that it offers to its contents when it is
26、 subjected to stacking. It may be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects (deformation, creep, collapse or failure) of stacking or as part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a package or a unit load to withstand a distribution system that includes a stacki
27、ng hazard. The test may also be used to investigate performance under particular conditions of loading, as, for example, when the bottom package in a stack rests on an open-decked pallet; or when the profile of the superimposed load is eccentric, as when it is supported on the bearers of a single-de
28、cked pallet which rests on a container. For such purposes, one of the three methods of carrying out the test may be more suitable than the others. NOTE A method for carrying out a stacking test using a compression tester is given in ISO 12048 1) . 2 Normative references The following normative docum

ENISO2234:20021ISO 4322:(0002)E 2 ISO 0002 All irhgts seredevr 4P r i n c i p l e The test item is placed on a flat, hor
33、izontal surface and subjected to an evenly distributed load applied from above, using one of three methods. The load, atmospheric conditions, period of time under load and attitude of the test item are predetermined. NOTE The top-to-bottom or the side-to-side deflection of the test item during the t
34、est may be measured, if appropriate. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Horizontal surface, which is flat (the difference in height between the highest and lowest points not exceeding 2 mm) and rigid. A concrete floor at least 150 mm thick is suitable. 5.2 Means of loading, which, according to the method chosen (1, 2
35、or 3) is as described in 5.2.1 to 5.2.3. 5.2.1 Method 1: stack of test items, each item being identical with the item under test. The number of test items is such that their total mass forms an appropriate load. 5.2.2 Method 2: loading platform, free to tilt to an equilibrium position on the test it
36、em, together with an appropriate load. The loading platform, when placed centrally on top of the test item, shall be large enough to extend at least 100 mm over all sides of the top surface of the test item and rigid enough to support the load completely without deformation. NOTE This type of load i
37、s sometimes referred to as “free load“. 5.2.3 Method 3: loading platform, such that the lower surface of the platform is constrained to remain horizontal, together with an appropriate load. The loading platform, when placed centrally on top of the test item, shall be large enough to extend at least
38、100 mm over all sides of the top surface of the test item and rigid enough to support the load completely without deformation. NOTE 1 This type of load is sometimes referred to as a “guided load“. NOTE 2 If guides are used to ensure that the loading platform remains horizontal, they should not cause
39、 friction that could affect the test results. 5.3 Means of measuring deflection (if necessary), accurate to 1 mm and capable of indicating either an increase or a decrease in dimensions. In addition, the apparatus shall meet the requirements and tolerances of clause 8. NOTE Stable and safe loading d
40、uring the test is dependent on the friction between the top surface of the test item and the bottom surface of the loading platform, as well as the ability of the test item to resist deformation. Means therefore, should be provided to produce a stable test assembly and to ensure that, if failure occ
41、urs, the load is restrained and does not cause danger to personnel in the vicinity. 6 Test item preparation Fill the test item with its intended contents and ensure that it is closed normally, as if ready for distribution. NOTE Simulated or substituted contents may be used, on condition that the dim
42、ensions and physical properties of such contents should be as close as possible to those of the intended contents. However, the closure should be the same as for distribution. ENISO2234:20022ISO 4322:(0002)E ISO 0002 All irhgts seredevr 3 7 Conditioning The test item shall be conditioned in accordan
43、ce with one of the conditions described in ISO 2233. 8 Procedure 8.1 Wherever possible the test shall be carried out in atmospheric conditions identical to those used for conditioning, and particularly where this is critical to the materials or application of the test item. In other circumstances, t
44、he test shall be carried out in atmospheric conditions which approximate those used for conditioning, as closely as is practicable. 8.2 Position the stack of test item (5.2.1) or, alternatively, the loading platform (5.2.2 or 5.2.3) centrally over the test item which has been placed on the flat, hor
45、izontal surface (5.1). 8.2.1 If methods 2 and 3 are being used, place the masses making up the load on the loading platform without impact, ensuring that they are in full contact with the loading platform before being released. The masses shall be distributed uniformly over that portion of the surfa
46、ce of the loading platform in direct contact with the test item to ensure that the centre of gravity of the load is immediately above the centre of the top surface of the test item. The mass of the total load, including the mass of the loading platform, shall be within 2 % of the predetermined value
47、. The distance of the centre of gravity of the load above the loading platform shall not exceed 50 % of the height of the test item. 8.2.2 In methods 2 and 3, if measurements are taken, this shall be done between the two surfaces exerting compression on the test item after the application of a pre-l
48、oad sufficient to assure a good contact between the loading platform and the test item. 8.3 Apply the load for the required period of time (usually 24 h, according to the material) or until collapse. 8.4 Remove the load and examine the test item. NOTE 1 At any time during the test it may be necessary to measure dimensions. NOTE 2 Appropriately profiled i
